Question
My sister suddenly experienced paralysis in August, and it relapse yesterday after treatment. I want to know how to deal with the post-polio syndrome?
Answer
Poliomyelitis is typically caused by viral peripheral nerve edema. Treatment includes using corticosteroids to reduce nerve edema, vitamin nutrition for nerves, and complementary treatments such as traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. For frequent recurrence, further diagnosis and treatment may be required to identify potential causes. It is recommended to visit a neurology department for detailed examination and treatment.
